I really, really like this outfit formula (and honestly, I'll make any excuse to wear my favorite blazer!) </p> <p>DebbieK, the polka dot flower pin that I posted here is from Anthropologie, and I think it is still available.</p> <p>Joy, very clever! I'll have to keep that in mind if I don't find what I'm looking for in the non-hair accessories section.</p> <p>Thanks, Angie - I hope we'll see more outfit formulas this year, because I LOVE trying them out.</p> <p>Kyle, you are so incredibly sweet and uplifting yourself. Your comment was the perfect thing to hear at the start of a busy week. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299809 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:58:23 +0000 Kyle 299809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, there's a playfulness to this look that really suits you. You radiate positive energy and so does this entire outfit. Perhaps our best Chanel inspired look here yet. The hat and pin take it to a whole new level. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299757 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:38:14 +0000 Lisa 299757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also want to steal this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299705 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:49:55 +0000 marianna 299705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karrrrrri!

I wish I'd bought that Michael Kors shirt but am inspired to copy with a narrow stripe I own. To those who are looking for a flower pin: I finally found a flower I like... at Nordstroms. It's a black leather poppy shape from a narrow headband. I removed the flower to pin on my jacket and love it so much I want one in a different color. I don't see it on their website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299274 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:26:50 +0000 rae 299274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute!

Love what you've done with the accessories! And your new hairstyle takes it to a whole new level:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299199 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:42:26 +0000 Michelle 299199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, no worries whatsoever!!! You give fabulous descriptions, and based on this one, your outfits sound all kinds of great!!<br /> I have so many components of this outfit, all but the black and white shoes, and I'm thinking of getting the pair Angie featured in the original post. I have a black and white diagonal-striped top, a black knit boyfriend blazer (I want a nicer one, but this will do), a black and white silk floral pin (as well as the zipper one), and even the black chain-strap crossbody bag. Until I get the *exact* ballet flats, I can break out my pewter snake dkny ones. Great idea about the scarf, too...thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299198 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:17:24 +0000 Kari 299198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Michelle! I usually add at least basic descriptions but fell off the wagon this time. Thanks for keeping me on the ball, and I'm sorry for initially leaving you out!</p> <p>I wore this outfit with two different pairs of jeans: medium rinse straight leg (Gap Real Straight) jeans and dark bootcut (Jag Jeans - Lucy cut) with beige and black patent Me Too Swann flats - the toe and heel are tipped with black patent leather. The top is a rayon navy and white thin-striped Michael Kors top with an asymmetrical neckline - it's from the YLF store a while back. The blazer is black and has large, floppy lapels and an asymmetrical zipper - Halogen from Nordstrom - and I rolled up the sleeves several times so they would stay in place scrunched to my elbows. Handbag is a dark purple Franco Sarto crossbody style. I wore the outfit with two different floral brooches, one of which is small and is made of white silk, and the other is oversized, black, and has white polka dots. I also wore my white plastic boyfriend watch and white pearl stud earrings.<br /> And I topped it off with a gray felt cloche hat with black stitching. The brim of the hat is turned up on one side and held in place with a buckle, so it's pretty asymmetrical as well.</p> <p>You've already got the basics for a Chanel-inspired outfit with your boyfriend blazer and your zipper brooch. I can't remember if you have a striped shirt, but I'm actually tempted to play up this combination with other non-striped shirts - for example, one that is black and white and has a pattern of small, abstract-shaped dots. I could also see you wearing a somewhat inspired outfit with a black top and your black and white abstract-patterned scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299195 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:07:02 +0000 Michelle 299195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, as someone who's champing at the bit to interpret this formula, descriptions please! :)<br /> How are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit#post-299193 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 06:03:07 +0000 Kari 299193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here's my take on the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/02/09/formula-chanel-inspired-gal-on-the-go/">Chanel-inspired outfit formula</a>. This is a pretty literal interpretation except that I don't own (and don't plan to buy) a crossbody bag with a chain strap.</p> <p>The first outfit was from this past weekend, going out to dinner with family, while the second outfit was what I wore to today. (The hat was only worn for commuting.)</p> <p>I could totally see myself embracing this formula on a regular basis. The small touches - pearl stud earrings, silk floral brooches, and my favorite asymmetrical blazer - present a great way to make me feel more at home (and slightly dressy) in my jeans. </p>
